Feed metering
Thread Content
Ingredients are prepared in a mixing tank with a capacity of 500 L. Three types of solvents are used, each weighing around 50–100 kg; they are all supplied in barrels. An accurate ratio of these ingredients is required. What measurement method would be the most convenient and cost-effective? Option 1: Is there an electronic scale for interlock control? The transfer is carried out using a diaphragm pump; once the desired mass is reached, the pump stops, and the feed valve is also shut off as part of this interlock mechanism. Option 2: Use a metering pump, set a time limit, stop the pump when that time is reached, and close the feed valve ； Several types of metering pumps may be required. I wonder if there is a better way to measure it?
Yes, how can such diverse and small-batch production be controlled? Is automation possible?
Scales are more accurate than metering pumps; the weighing modules are placed under the ear mounts, with 3–4 modules being used to weigh one tank
A weighing module can be used; materials must be added in sequence, depending on your connection method and accuracy requirements.
